To be Taken back to Childhood

by Trameldacom

Dose: T+ 0:00 100 mg smoked Salvia divinorum extract

Body weight: 145.00 lbs

Firstly, Id like to provide a little background about myself. I am currently 24 years old and about145 lbs. I havent smoked pot in at least 8 years and have only consumed alcohol no more than15 times in my life. The very first times I tried salvia were back in, I believe, 2006 with very littleeffect. I attempted smoking a 10X extract of salvia a few times but never had anything more thana laughing fit for a few minutes. I had also tried an undiluted tincture which did nothing but burnthe insides of my mouth. I was convinced I was a salvia hard head.

My interest in trying salvia divinorum again surfaced one day before the following experience. Iwas talking with some of my friends and one of them mentioned that they wanted to try it. Imentioned that I had tried it before and was interested in attempting to get a more interestingresult. Considering salvia is entirely legal in my state, I let them know that I knew of a shop intown that sold salvia and that we could buy from there. They asked a few people about it andended up recruiting 5 people who wanted to try it. Four others came along to witness and act assitters.

We purchased 1 gram of salvia 20X dried leaves the following day and decided to smoke in myapartment that night. We ate dinner around 7:00 PM and then went to my place, settling on thekitchen floor. I ended up going last since I was the only one with any past salvia experience and Iwanted to be sober to watch over everyone. Each person went at approximate 5 minute intervals

so that we didnt have 5 people at peak trips in one small room at the same time.

I should mention that, in retrospect, my friends experiences were no where near as intense, re-vealing, or as long as mine was.

I packed the pipe full of approximately 1/10 of a gram of the salvia leaves. I put my mouth upto the opening and put my thumb over the choke. One of my friends held the torch lighter abovethe leaves to get them to start burning and then, after about 10 seconds or so, lowered the flamedirectly onto the leaves. At this point I began to inhale deeply and got a huge lunge-full of smokewhich I held for maybe 20 seconds or so. With the smoke still inside my lungs my vision began toget a little wavy. Instantly I released the smoke and felt a wave of non-being come over me.

I dont know how much time passed but the next thing I remember is feeling as if I was back inmy childhood. Now by this I dont mean that I could see people or places from my childhood, orthat I felt as if I was a child again, it was just a sensation that I had been transported back tothat time in the universes history. I saw no images at all. I dont know if my eyes were open orclosed, if I was sitting up or lying down, if I had a body or if I was just my consciousness. All thatwas real to me was time. My childhood time, and echoing through all of time, all of the universe

that I was in was a single word. This word had more meaning than anything else in reality. It wasthe answer to everything. It was so clear, as if it was being yelled into my brain. The word wasTrameldacom. Pronounced: Tru (TRUck) Mel (MELvin) Da (DUck) Com (COMbat). I dontknow why it was that word (it isnt a word as far as I know), which I had never heard in my entirelife, but that word was everything during those moments. The other sensation I had about the

word was that it was something that I had forgotten and that only by being transported back tomy childhood could I remember it.

Eventually I turned myself around and saw my friends in the room (I had been lying down on myside facing the white wall). I also noticed that I had drooled quite significantly. I saw everyonefairly clearly, but it was as if they were far away. But not in terms of physical distance, but interms of time. They were not in the same TIME as me, even if they were in the same place.Throughout this whole experience, I was later told, I was yelling out what I was experiencing,though I dont remember doing that up to this point. After seeing everyone I was more aware ofmy physical self and my relation to other things in the room.

I eventually stood up and walked around a bit, feeling very strange. I walked into my bedroom,

which is just off the kitchen, before returning to the kitchen. Upon entering the kitchen I could seethe place I originally had lain and I was overcome with a sense of nostalgia as I view that place asthe place where my childhood was, and I knew that if I laid back down in that spot that I wouldbe taken back to it. So I did and I immediately had the same sensation, albeit a little less strong.I laid there for a few moments, facing the wall, and I took that time to try to gather my senses. Istarted talking to everyone saying that I knew I had just smoked salvia and that what I was doingand saying must look really strange but, to me, it was so very real. I mentioned that I could heareach individuals voice and I proceeded to blindly point in the direction of their voices around thekitchen. Someone began calling my name repeatedly and I turned around and noticed that only 1out of the 8 other people were even in the kitchen with me.

I got up and sat against the adjoining wall (if you were facing the original wall, it would be theone joining at the right corner). At that moment the strangest sense of being in the same placeas before swept over me. I quickly moved back to my original place and still felt that I was inthe same place. What I realized was happening was this: my brain had an idea, a conception, ofwhat a room was. It had a front, two sides, and a back. Well, it was the back of the room that Iconstantly felt I was in; no matter what wall I was leaning up against I felt as if it was the BACKof the room, the BACK wall of my apartment. I couldnt be anywhere else despite being able tolook around and know where I really was in relation to everything else.

After some amount of time I crawled on the floor under a table. There were three chairs pushedin and I was under those as well. I lifted my right leg up and rested it on the chair immediatelyabove my lower half. It felt like it was on resting on the top of the table though. I somehow knew

that it couldnt be, but my mind was telling me that my foot was on the table. I asked someone ifit was so but they told me it was on just touching the side of the chair. I wanted to crawl back outbut felt trapped. Not an overwhelming sense of being trapped but I couldnt immediately figureout how to get out from under the table.

I eventually wormed my way backwards and stood up. I went into my bedroom where everyone

else had went and talked to them. I was feeling like I was coming down but still felt strange. Thetime distance was still between us and I had a new sensation that I could sense every molecule inthe air, that every atom in the universe was a solid, tangible object. It was for this reason, not myown skeleton and muscles, that I was able to stand up straight. I felt that I was being supportedby the fabric of the universe and that I could just lean back and I wouldnt fall.

Over the next 15 or 20 minutes I began to get back into a normal state of mind. I used this timeto tell my friends all of my experiences while they were still fresh in my head. I remember thinkingthat the experience I just had wasnt just something that happened in my own mind, but wasliterally another place, another dimension, another time that actually did exist; that DOES existand that I could return to it somehow.

My friends told me that the peak of my experience, where I was, to them, acting the most strangely,lasted a good 20 to 25 minutes. This I find very strange since my friends experiences were no morethat 5 or 6 minutes. Ive also read that 5 or 6 minutes is about the average length of a smokedsalvia experience. I cant explain why mine lasted so long.

The next morning I awoke feeling almost completely normal. I was perhaps just slightly dizzy, my

vision wavering just a tad periodically.

Though the experience was intense I see myself perhaps trying it again in a calmer environment.I think that fact that there were so many people there made the experience a little more erraticthan it could have been had there only been a few close friends with my and I was perhaps lyingdown in a darkened room. Salvia truly transported my mind to a different time and shifted myperception of reality. It was a little scary, but I do not regret experiencing what I did.
